It’s American Heart Month ❤️

Your heart works hard for you and taking care of it starts with access to quality care. Our health center has been designated as a National Quality Leader in heart health. We support heart health through primary care visits, blood pressure checks, cholesterol management, and ongoing support for chronic conditions.

If it’s been a while since your last checkup, this month is a great time to schedule one. We’re here to help you take steps toward a healthier heart.

Here is some great advice for the upcoming cold weather!

It’s bitterly cold out — let’s look out for one another.

If you can, stay inside, dress in warm layers, and check on neighbors, older adults, and anyone who may need extra help staying warm. Bring pets indoors and use heating sources safely.

Need help with heat, shelter, food, or other essentials? Call 211 — it’s free, confidential, and connects you to local resources 24/7.

A quick check-in can make a big difference.

As we look to the weekend, WCHD and WCCHC is reminding our community to stay safe and weather aware. Our partners at Wood County Emergency Management Agency are working to keep you updated from their sources, and it is always a good idea to give them a like/follow to stay updated as they are able to share info as they receive it.

According to this morning's update from NWS Cleveland, not much has changed. Late yesterday Wood County was added in the Winter Storm Watch (defined as conditions favorable for a winter storm event which is a threat to life and property). Wood is not yet included in the Winter Storm Warning (defined as heavy snow 6” in 12 hours, 8” in 24 hours or sleet of ½” or more) area although this area too was increased. Total estimated snowfall for the event (Wood County) is expected to be around 6 inches.
While wind speeds Monday will be slightly less, gusts of 20-25mph with the potential for light snow could make driving conditions hazardous adding to the impacts of the Monday morning commute. Tuesday morning the temperature is expected to be just above zero with 25-30mph winds gusts and dangerously low wind chills.

If you’re ready to talk — or even just thinking about it — support is available.
